Address Management for IPv6

Software to help with IP address management (IPAM) has long been available
for IPv4, and now IPv6 versions are becoming available. IPAM tools are
important in IPv6 as networks have larger address pools, different
subnetting techniques, and more complex 128-bit hexadecimal numbers.
Here are links to some open source and commercial IPAM packages. IPv6Now
does not guarantee any of these packages, links are supplied for information
